Why can't I get the man page of the crypt function?
On my Fedora system, I can do man 3 crypt and I see the man page of the crypt function.
However, when I do the same on Ubuntu it gives me:
No manual entry for crypt in section 3
I know that it has to be somewhere because it is the function that does the encryption for user password and I even found the man pages here:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man3/crypt.3.html
Any ideas?

While the mcrypt package provides a Section 1 manual page for the crypt executable command, the Section 3 page (covering the crypt library function) is provided by the manpages-dev package:
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/man/man1/crypt.1.gz /usr/share/man/man3/crypt.3.gz
mcrypt: /usr/share/man/man1/crypt.1.gz
manpages-dev: /usr/share/man/man3/crypt.3.gz
